Tattoos, even large ones, are not that uncommon among blue collar workers in Taiwan. EDIT: Once again, BShimworm is posting falsehoods about Taiwan. A good friend of mine runs an emploment agency nearby that places blue-collar workers from the Philippines, Vietnam, etc. in jobs here in Taiwan, and I have an acquaintance down the road who is a Filipino blue-collar worker at a factory here (along with many of his friends).

There are tons of people in Taiwan with tattoos. If you want a teaching job, so long as a shirt covers it, and you have the qualifications, it is possible.
3 :
As a foreigner, you cannot get an employment visa for a non-professional job. Factory, farm, and manual labor jobs are reserved for local Taiwanese people. Only qualified foreign doctors, lawyers, engineers, software programmers, etc are eligible for a Taiwan employment visa.
4 :
You should be able to find a factory job, but it will be a little difficult than the one who does not have tattoo with equal experience/education as you.
